Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of five years of verifiable emergency mitigation experience and successful completion of similar projects for at least three clients, preferably including a public sector entity. Contractors must be properly licensed in Wisconsin, not debarred by federal or state governments, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including workers' compensation, commercial general liability at $1 million per occurrence minimum, automobile liability, and pollution liability. All subcontractors must meet the same insurance and qualification requirements. Compliance with IICRC standards, FEMA requirements, and all applicable federal, state, and local regulations is mandatory.

This is an indefinite-quantity, requirements contract with no guaranteed quantities. Pricing shall be submitted on an hourly rate basis inclusive of all supervision, parts, equipment, materials, startup fees, labor, travel, and mileage, with rates to be negotiated during contract execution. The initial contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewal periods, for a maximum of five years total.

The County reserves the right to reject all responses or contract with single or multiple vendors.
